Gusts at 35!
ATG rooftop observations
But it won't be a real windstorm until they close the 520 bridge, which only happens if the wind reaches 40mph sustained for one minute... we'll see.

EDIT: my mistake. The 520 floating bridge gets shut down when winds reach 50mph sustained for 15 minutes. When winds hit 40mph sustained for one minute, an alarm goes off and they send inspectors out on the bridge to make sure it's not getting damaged, or capsizing or something. Good to know.
